Front Street-Alida Manor

The microclimate of the Panamanian highlands, as well as fertile soil, abundant precipitation, suitable temperature and height, have become a unique resource for the cultivation of quality coffee in Panama.

The history of Alida Farm can be traced back to 1918, the elevation of the area is about 1670 meters-1725 meters, the main varieties of coffee planted in the farm are improved Kaddura species, but also a small number of bourbon species, ELIKA ESTATE (Alida) manor is also a number of BOP (Best of Panama) participants, and achieved very good results, and thus rose to fame.

Alida Manor is also another heavyweight star manor in the Bokui specialty area. The area where it is located is about 1670 meters to 1725 meters above sea level. The main varieties of coffee planted in the farm are the improved Kaduai species, as well as a small number of bourbon species and Tibica. Although the Rosa Variety was planted a few years ago, Kaduai was used in all the batches of the BOP competition and achieved good results, closely following the Emerald Manor in the number of winners. Thus it can be seen that Panama produces high-quality coffee, which is closely related to its unique geographical advantages. At the same time, the fine operation of the manor harvest and processing link also plays a vital role in determining the quality of raw beans.

At present, Alida's treatment methods include water washing, sun exposure and honey treatment. It is worth mentioning that Alida's sun-dried beans are one of my favorite beans. I like the dry aroma after grinding very much, and I am particularly greedy for its unique flavor of sauce and wine. But there are also friends who can't readily accept the flavor of soy sauce in sun-dried beans at first. Not long ago, I heard some students use "sweet noodle sauce" to describe the sauce they smelled in the sun beans, and rejected the taste.

But in my opinion, I am used to drinking beans that are too clean and well-behaved, and beans treated with sun or honey often bring me more surprises. Balanced and soft Central American coffee, the use of honey or sun treatment will give it more possibility of flavor, and the feedback characteristics will become more plump, complex and multi-layered. Like the Sunshine Alida introduced to you, it is moderately sour and sweet after import, close to the flavor of strawberry fruit tea, rich, complex and unique aroma, transformed into toast and cream, vanilla aroma. The collision between berries and the unique flavor of fermented sauce gives Alida a unique flavor.

The famous beans in Alida Farm are also his washed beans, which taste clean and clear, with a floral aroma. At present, Alida Farm tries a variety of treatment methods, including water washing treatment, sun treatment and honey treatment of coffee beans. It is worth mentioning that Alida garden honey treated coffee beans, a combination of sun treatment and water washing treatment. The fresh coffee berries were directly fermented after removing the outer pericarp, which not only kept the taste clean, but also got the fruity and wine aroma produced by the sun treatment.
